PROTEGO® Applications
PROTEGO® safety devices are used in a wide range of industrial
applications. A safe process requires reliable protection for every
conceivable operating parameter. Practical
examples show how systems can be
made safe and how PROTEGO®

6
devices can be incorporated into
control loops. Engineers are
responsible for properly
harmonizing the overall system.

PROTEGO® devices offer safety and environmental protection

1 In Storage Tank Farms for Refineries 4 In Ship Building and Loading Systems
and Chemical Plants 5 In Vapour Recovery Units
2 In Processing Systems for Chemical 6 As integrated Component of Equipment,
and Pharmaceutical Industries Machines and Vessels
3 In Vapour Combustion Systems and Flares

Advantages of PROTEGO® 10% technology Tank pressure

Design point
10%
→ Pressure conservation very close to the maximum
allowable tank pressure
40%
→ Minimization of product losses e
↓ sur
100% rpres
→ Reduction of vapour emissions ove

Design flow
Overpressure 10%: valve is closed up to 18 mbar
Overpressure 100%: valve opens at 10 mbar already

Opening characteristics of valves

with different overpressure levels
Diaphragm Valves

Due to the flexible diaphragm, these valves are used in

weather-related low temperatures and in sticky, polymeri-
zing media.
PROTEGO® diaphragm valves are the only valves world-
wide which are frostproof down to temperatures of
-40°C (-40°F) (e.g. PROTEGO® UB/ ... series).

Pilot operated Valves

Special Features and Advantages

→ in accordance with API 2000 recommendations

→ increased set pressure up to 1034 mbar (15psig)
→ blow down < 7%
→ optimised flow performance

Emergency Relief Valves

→ used where the overpressure relief valves designed

for normal operation fail to satisfy suddenly occurring
venting requirements
→ used as an emergency pressure relief valve on
storage tanks, vessels, silos, and process engineering
equipment in the event of a fire

Special features and advantages of

PROTEGO® Flame Arresters:

→ modular flame arrester unit enables each individual Depending on the location of installation, the flame ar-
FLAMEFILTER® discs to be replaced and cleaned resters must fulfill various protective tasks:
→ service-friendly design At the opening of a system part to the atmosphere
→ End-of-line flame arrester
→ minimum pressure loss and associated low operating
and life-cycle cost At the opening of an equipment onto a connecting pipe
→ Pre-volume flame arrester

 PROTEGO® Tank Accessories and Special Equipment

Tanks in tank farms and large vessels not only need to be

equipped with flame arresters or pressure and vacuum
valves but; in addition they need special equipment, which
similar meets high requirements to operate safely.
